A moment later, Chu Mo was riding a white horse, a rooster shrunk to the size of a normal chicken squatting on horseback.
Jin Tiegang looked at Chu Mo, and asked with a smile, "Young man, where are you from?"
"From a foreign land, traveling around." Chu Mo answered with a smile.
Jin Tiegang certainly didn't believe this, but he didn't continue to question him further. After all, everyone has their own secrets.
Instead, he couldn't help but take several glances at the awe-inspiring rooster squatting on the horseback. Then he chuckled, "Your pet is indeed very unique, young man."
The rooster on the horseback couldn't help but turn its head to look at Jin Tiegang: "You are the pet, your whole family are pets!"
Jin Tiegang: "..."
Chu Mo slapped the rooster's head: "Don't be so rude!"
"You dare to hit me, boy?" The rooster immediately bristled its feathers. This was not the Mortal Realm where a chicken speaking would cause panic. This was the Spirit Realm abundant with spirit beasts. A chicken speaking was nothing unusual here.
Of course, this was what the rooster thought.
Jin Tiegang was still stunned by the talking rooster, who also spoke rather rudely. Looking at Chu Mo, he exclaimed in surprise, "This is actually a spirit beast?"
Indeed, though there were many spirit beasts in the Spirit Realm, they mostly stayed away from humans, living in deep mountains and old forests. Although some people succeed in taming spirit beasts, those people, without exception, were influential figures of high status.
Within the entire Jinxiu City, there were fewer than a handful of people who owned a spirit pet!
Therefore, deep in his heart, Jin Tiegang inferred a whole new estimation of Chu Mo's identity.
The rooster looked at Jin Tiegang condescendingly and sneered, "Lord Rooster a Heavenly Beast? Have you ever heard of a Heavenly Beast?"
"He…Heavenly Beast?" Jin Tiegang's mouth twitched. He was not an ignorant mortal of the Mortal Realm. Which cultivator in the Spirit Realm hadn't heard of the Immortal Realm and Heavenly Realm? He looked up at Chu Mo, who had an expression of helplessness on his face, and finally "understood" that this was a chicken who liked to brag.
He thought to himself, how could there be any Heavenly Beasts in the Spirit Realm, which didn't even have any Immortal Beasts?
The rooster looked proud and shook its feathers.
Jin Tiegang couldn't help but smile, "This is interesting!" Turning to Chu Mo, he asked, "May I know your name, young man?"
"Haha, Mr. Jin is too kind. I am Chu Mo." Chu Mo replied frankly.
If he were in the Immortal Realm, he might not dare reveal his name so freely, but in the Spirit Realm, it wouldn't pose much of a problem. After all, there were very few beings in the Spirit Realm who could reach the Illusionary God Realm.
Sure enough, Jin Tiegang didn't react unusually after hearing this. He bowed to Chu Mo: "I am Jin Tiegang, a manager of the Jin Family in Jinxiu City. I am pleased to make your acquaintance, Brother Chu!"
Chu Mo returned the gesture, his attitude was gentle and humble, quickly winning the favor of Jin Tiegang, who conversed with him.
Although Jin Tiegang could tell that Chu Mo's cultivation level was not high, a naturally born martial artist with a highly intelligent spirit pet, who was well-spoken, clearly had an extraordinary identity. As for Jin Tiegang, he was also willing to make friends like this.
Therefore, the two got along famously from the start and had a great chat on the road.
Through Jin Tiegang, Chu Mo quickly learnt a lot about the Spirit Realm.
Meanwhile.
In the carriage, Fang Lu curiously looked through a gap in the curtain at Chu Mo, who was not far away laughing and chatting with Jin Tiegang. She then turned to ask Fang Lan, "Sis, who is that guy? How did he get so friendly with the Jin Family's manager so quickly?"
Compared to her simple-minded and somewhat clueless younger sister, Fang Lan had a lot on her mind and was feeling weighed down. Looking at her sister, she replied indifferently, "I don't know."
Feeling her sister's low spirits, Fang Lu lowered her head, "I'm sorry, sis..."
"Ah..." Fang Lan sighed, then asked, "Whose idea was this? I don't think it was yours, was it?"
"It... it was me..." Fang Lu replied with shame in her voice, "When I heard that you were taken away, and it seemed like mom and dad had accepted it, I couldn't stand it, so I went to seek Brother Wu, Brother Wen, and Brother Du Fei."
"What did they say?" Fang Lan asked.
"Brother Wu said then..." When she got to this point, Fang Lu became hesitant. She may be young and carefree, but she wasn't dumb. She knew what she should say and what she shouldn't.
"Said what?" Fang Lan pressed.
"Brother Wu... His words weren't that pleasant to hear, he might have been in a bad mood." Fang Lu mumbled.
"Speak!" Fang Lan's eyes turned cold, "Am I not even worth the truth to you?"
"He... he said you're infatuated with vanity and should have chosen death over submission to preserve your chastity..." Fang Lu lowered her head, "He also said..."
"Enough!" Fang Lan's voice trembled slightly as she murmured, "Stop talking."
Looking at her sister who was on the verge of tears, Fang Lu also felt upset, "Brother Wu, he... he's just like that, he's narrow-minded. He was just letting off steam then, sis… you shouldn't be angry at him."
After all, they were companions who grew up together. The Wang brothers, Wang Wu and Wang Wen, had always been very good to the Fang sisters. So in Fang Lu's heart, she considered Wang Wu as if he was her biological brother. Her young heart didn't want any problems to arise between her sister and Wang Wu.
"Then..." After a while, Fang Lan took a deep breath and asked quietly.
"Then Brother Wen said, we can't let you be taken away by the Jin Family, we must recapture you. Brother Du Fei said, his friend's friend knew a disciple from a major sect, who just happened to be visiting home from the sect. So, Brother Du Fei went to look for that person. When that person arrived, he said he had met you on the road once." Fang Lu explained.
Fang Lan thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't remember him, perhaps he saw me from afar."
"Maybe, but this matter... sis, don't blame Brother Wu and the others, they did it for your sake." Fang Lu said softly."
"I won't blame anyone." Fang Lan said faintly, "For this trip to Jinxiu City, I went with the intent of not returning."
"Sis, you..." Fang Lu suddenly panicked, about to say something, but Fang Lan stopped her.
"Lu, Mr. Jin is a good man. Remember, if I really do have an accident, you go find Mr. Jin and have him take you home. From then on, it will be up to you to take care of our mom and dad." Fang Lan instructed.
"No... Sis, you will be fine!" Tears finally fell from Fang Lu's eyes.
Not far from them, Chu Mo and Jin Tiegang were looking at each other. The conversation in the carriage wasn't very secretive to them. They could hear it clearly.
Jin Tiegang's face had a hint of embarrassment, he said to Chu Mo, "Sorry for making Brother Chu witness this."
